2. “Whatever our conclusion, we are deeply indebted to the
great philosophical labors of Professor Thomé Fang
who helped us to understand the ingenuity and greatness of Chinese
philosophy.His lofty generalizations
make clear as never before the mountain peaks and river valleys of Chinese
culture.”[2]

Philosophy Department, State University of New York at Buffalo, NY; Visiting
Professor of Philosophy, University of Moscow, Soviet Russia.

3. “Professor Thomé Fang is one
of the great philosophers of contemporary China; unfortunately, too little of
his works has been translated in the West.”[3]

9. “Although it is unlikely that we would beable to meet again in this life; yet I am
deeply impressed with the grand style of Dr. Thomé H. Fang as a scholar, … Now
I only hope that there will still be opportunities for me to show such a style
as typical of China, so that our Japanese scholars would have a model to
reflect upon and to learn from.”[9]

---- Hajime Nakamura, President, Eastern Society, Tokyo,
Japan.

10. “Never could I imagine it possible for an Easterner to
present Chinese philosophy to the West in such elegant and classical English to
be rarely found among the British and American scholars of our time.”[10]

Thought, Oxford University, England, and University of Paris, France.

11. “Not until now do I know who is the
greatest philosopher of China.”[11]

Charles Moore, the late Chairman, Philosophy Department, and Founder of
East-West Philosophers’ Conference, University of Hawaii, Honolulu, HI.

12. “Each of these
threads—Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, and, to a much lesser extent, Western
thought—has been skillfully interwoven into the complex tapestry of Fang’s
magnum opus, Chinese Philosophy:Its Spirit and Its
Development. As
such the volume represents a form of intellectual autobiography…. In comparing
Fang’s text to other, similar attempts at a synoptic overview of Chinese philosophy, ....it is also far more
provocative for a philosophical reader. Fang’s multileveled discussions can
engage the interest (and occasionally the ire) of a professional philosopher.”
